I guess, “waiting” should be one huge concern we all are struggling with, these days. Even when we see the value and benefits of waiting, well, I guess, we all are struggling particularly with the vicinity of patience. (Correct me if I am wrong) 

To certain extent, I am certain we all are men of action. Yeap, when we carry out some thing, we do it now and for sure, we would like to see the results at this moment too. Ok, now, now we do not want to wait until the Kingdom comes, do we? 

Well, impatience to me is like caffeine, making my heart pulsative. And I know this is unbiblical. From time to time, I do every now and then end up creating some mess on a possibly somewhat perfect outcome with an unpleasantly unsatisfactory timing as a result of being impatient. 

Nevertheless, I would here, like to express special thanks to God for being gracious. Yeap, He is the one who is all this while, continuously working patiently in us, also He work things out for the good of us, as we love Him. Moreover, we are all called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28) 

Below are some excellent quotes about patience and waiting: 

Lewis Smedes writes:  Waiting is our destiny as creatures who cannot by themselves bring about what they hope for,We wait in the darkness for a flame we cannot light, We wait in fear for a happy ending we cannot write,  We wait for a not yet that feels like a not ever, Waiting is the hardest work of hope.    

M. Scott Peck writes: Delaying gratification is a process of scheduling the pain and pleasure of life in such a way as to enhance the pleasure by meeting and experiencing the pain first and getting it over with. It is the only decent way to live.

Daniel Goleman writes: At the heart of emotional intelligence is the ability to delay gratification and not live at the mercy of impulse.
